That list is baffling, and I still think Master should have been renamed to Trunk instead.

The me of a couple of years ago would probably have made some snarky comment about how DHH is complaining too much about some random list some one made and nobody uses but the last couple of years have shown me how quickly the turbo-woke (not to be confused with regular wokes)

Discord Applying Forced Arbitration - opt-out before it is too late!
Not to quibble, but because you like to nerd out on these things:

Maximalist land claims from the Israeli side go back much further than the Kahanist movement - specifically to the Revisionist Zionism movement founded circa 1925. Which arguably became the de-facto position of Israel after the 1967 war up to the current day (basically: "We weren't really planning to grab all this territory, but being as things somehow ended up that way we might as well keep it, because after all it's ours anyway.") And in any case was explicitly the ideology of the Herut Party, which eventually morphed into Likud.

Hamas's own position in regard to inverse claims is less clear, given the (somewhat) conflicting language in the key passage everyone cites (Paragraph 20) from the 2017 Charter. By my own reading, that paragraph is actually quite straightforward, and tilts decisively towards the "formula of national consensus" re: 1967 borders.

Then again, that was the Hamas of 7 years ago. Given their penchant for piling up civilian corpses the minute their fighters assemble on enemy territory in sufficient numbers to do so; and that "explanations" for their actions have been terse and sparse since then -- I'm not sure what they currently believe.
If you look at a small enough timeframe and a completely free market without setting up rules to the game to keep it an even playing field, then that's an issue, yes.

What are your thoughts on patents?
>“a person using this thing should be able to work it out with reasonable effort”

Why can't we blame the complete lack of documentation? One cannot RTFM if they're never given it. Peeling off safety stickers and clicking buttons with trial and error does not count as documentation.
Whoa so many mind blowing facts. Does the orbit change or does the lens rotate? If one knos the rotation degree can the total number of satellites it would take to cover the entire earth be calculated?

I feel like the new show covered lots of cultural ground, and would have risked bogging down if it went any deeper. Although I do think there has been an undercurrent of fascination with Japanese culture in the West for some decades now, so for some people many of the insights in Shōgun could have felt less impactful due to familiarity.
The only board breaks that are really impressive to me are speed breaks, where the board is either held one-handed (either by the person doing the break or an assistant) or is mid-air when struck.

That at least takes a measure of skill.

The latter may indeed be massively more likely than the former. But, how many companies verify the former until right before the offer stage? I know I don't call HR at random companies to verify that Jane or Joe Candidate actually worked there before deciding to interview them.
I only just noticed that the wheelchair https://libertymemesfoundation.org/donations/endurance-the-o... is actually a Class 2 device. That sounds really hard to get past the FDA. I think it's pretty cool still because folks with the knowhow could make their own, but the disabled are probably SOL because you can't really make these for sale without that.

I suppose the FDA's reasoning is that they're better off having no mobility than having a device that doesn't work properly.
I don’t know what the median/average price is for these, only the range.

I don't know if the timeline of events supports that entirely. Match.com bought OkCupid in 2011. OkCupid didn't start becoming Tinder-like until Match merged with Tinder in 2017.

There was also very little changes made to OkCupid core functionality between 2011 and 2016. Most monetized features predated the match.com acquisition, though I think the price increased at some point.

Show HN: I made a website that collects successful indiehackers reading lists
As the other comments have mentioned, by setting the first bit to one it looses a bit of entropy but ensures that the prime is large enough. Another thing to add is that in RSA two primes are multiplied together. If one of them is 1024 bits the other can be ~200 bits (if i remember correctly) and still reach the required number of entropy bits for the key. So, having both primes be 1024-bit adds a bit of wiggle room too.
None. The author is just angry at the dang liberals.
I fly light aircraft and that's exactly what I think.

One thing I may add is commitment and responsibility, as in, if you are careless, people may die, including yourself. In most software work, with all these tests and reviews and backups, you don't have that, for very good reasons, but it kind of feels like what you are doing is inconsequential.

Have you seen the list of offensive words he linked to. The guidance says not to use the word brown bags to refer to a lunch meeting because black people discriminated against each other using brown paper bags 50 years ago. It's overreaching and thought policing to the max.

The interesting part here is that it's actually a two-sided marketplace. Most investors aren't "impressive" either, and thus they'll often not be able to get into the best deals because they have no value add.
Thank you for this. I have been having some engine indecision. I am more of a programmer, so I was thinking that learning rust and bevy would be superior to learning godot, but it seemed like a really deep rabbit hole to go down, and I was concerned from the lack of actual games that were coming out of it.

Your blog post really explained the reason why quite clearly, thus eliminating a journey that would be fraught with difficulty and seemingly with little return.

I am going to go with godot and hopefully that works out for me. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
> Might as well raise prices, pay workers more, and get rid of tipping

This is exactly what I think should happen. It's better for everyone:

• The worker knows exactly how much he or she will be paid.

• The consumer can determine the real cost of a service by just reading the price.

Show HN: I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU
I spent the last few days building out a nicer ChatGPT-like interface to use Mistral 7B and Llama 3 fully within a browser (no deps and installs).

I’ve used the WebLLM project by MLC AI for a while to interact with LLMs in the browser when handling sensitive data but I found their UI quite lacking for serious use so I built a much better interface around WebLLM.

I’ve been using it as a therapist and coach. And it’s wonderful knowing that my personal information never leaves my local computer.

Should work on Desktop with Chrome or Edge. Other browsers are adding WebGPU support as well - see the Github for details on how you can get it to work on other browsers.

Note: after you send the first message, the model will be downloaded to your browser cache. That can take a while depending on the model and your internet connection. But on subsequent page loads, the model should be loaded from the IndexedDB cache so it should be much faster.

The project is open source (Apache 2.0) on Github. If you like it, I’d love contributions, particularly around making the first load faster.

This puts the Bluey episode "Granny Mobile" in context, where the grouchy granny wants to buy the used wheelchair for a mere $100. $1,200 is still an incredible deal.
Yeah, he said it is a flatulence circle.
There are obvious charitable interpretations of OP's meaning, but you ask for effort without any yourself. Could you explain what you're unclear about? Could you explain if you ask for clarity at all, or because you have an underlying unexpressed disagreement? Is it about the definitional existence of "excess consumption" or is it the precise details you quibble with?

Really cool text editor, the only missing feature for me is the multiedit/multicursor
<opine>Team is mostly BS. The chances that even a really good investor, who is not actually in the game, can accurately determine an early stage startup's commercial trajectory by magically intuiting from highly condensed summaries of multiple people's multiple decades of nuanced experience, is near zero. Yes, there is insight to be had there, especially at the pointy end of 80/20, but there are far more significant factors in most cases. Long term VCs will tend to overstate the importance of character due to survivor bias (ie. the successful follow-ons are the only founders they really get to know).

IMHO most early stage investment is made based on hunches and hand-waving after doing generalist macro assessments of particular industries or trends. Frequently, faddish. GP's will often do this, raise a fund around it, then associates are sent out to get deal-flow and execute. Many startups will be get selected from an available pool with the established investment theme. This capital is largely sacrificial, and high miss rates are expected.

Where things get serious at the personal level is in the mid to later stages where you start to see bigger figures being moved about and investors want a shepherd for their capital who has proven stable and long haul capable - things like the capacity not to suddenly live beyond their means, lose focus, drop it all and go to Vegas, crash and burn at HR management, or break down at the first signs of difficulty. That said, you also get mechanics being added like tranched deployment and fiscal/management oversight (eg. board seats) which are highly effective at mitigating risk even in a low-trust scenario. Most VCs are early stage and never play at this level.

To put it bluntly: early stage is mostly noise. Mid to later stage, if they want the deal, they'll make it happen. It's your job to be so damn good they can't help themselves.</opine>
This doesn't work with GrapheneOS but rather you can create a derivative of GrapheneOS without the core security model intact. Instead of a tiny core portion of the OS being trusted with root access, a massive portion of the OS is trusted with that. It's much easier for an application to compromise the OS. An attacker doesn't need exploits for privileged persistent compromise anymore but rather that's a given since the verified boot security model is no longer intact. The purpose of locking the bootloader is enabling verified boot, which is no longer intact with this approach. CalyxOS doesn't have a complete verified boot implementation for the OS like GrapheneOS and rolls back the standard security model a fair bit, but doing this rolls it back far more. You cannot have your cake and eat it too in this case. If you want modifications to the OS, you should use the official build instructions and avoid replacing the core of the OS with a rootkit trusting a massive portion of the OS to give out root access and trusting persistent state with root access.
I don't mean to pile on but i feel the same when software devs here talk about how becoming a farmer is their salvation from their workplace suffering. As a kid I remember watching my cousin lie on his back with a stick welder underneath a horse trailer in 105F Texas summer heat. No thanks, i'll stick with my coffee, desk, and computer.

edit: different strokes for different folks, i don't want to sound too presumptuous. For some people what i described is exactly what would bring them joy.

There's a simple website for where I live (Berlin) which is basically musical want ads. Biggest problem is that while it allows it, most musicians don't include an audio clip. People self-describing their musical ability is almost entirely useless.
If nobody has taken your advice, how do you know it really works for other recruiters than yourself? Not saying it never will, it's just there's a vast number of companies out there, and not all of those that work in recruiting and hiring may be well versed in the technical details of various open source tools and libraries.

Anyway, if anyone does want to try this, I'd say be wise about which project you pick. Not all open source projects have the same "contribution capacity". Just because there's a lot of developers on a project does not automatically mean they have the extra time it takes to guide and help with getting contributions from new members merged.

If you're out of a job, the last thing you want is for your contributions to be stuck for months waiting for someone to have the time to give feedback or merge them.
Capital will simply undermine the democracy again. It's literally that simple. Capitalism and democracy are fundamentally at odds.
Since this is the first iteration, I went the easiest route where people link their SoundCloud/Spotify/or Youtube channel.

I considered having MP3 uploads or even video uploads, but didn't seem worth it building a transcoding/streaming system, when someone could still upload things that is not them playing.

Another idea is to "verify" linked Spotify accounts by having the artist place a short random code in their Spotify bio, to prove they are actually the artist.
Did I mention joking?

Show HN: CandleEmbed – A crate for generating text embeddings from HF models
I wanted to try out the new snowflake embedding model a few weeks ago in a personal project, and I couldn't find an easy "cargo add" way to do so.

By the time I got done implementing Candle's text embedding example for my needs, I realized it wouldn't take much more work to make it a crate.

Running on a 3090 and it's extremely fast. It generates the ~5k embeddings in MTEB's SCIFACT benchmark in 2-3m. CPU is very slow. I know this is not particularly impressive as Rust project, but this is my first crate and I enjoyed making something "user friendly" - even if I end up being the only user!

> This is what baffles me about Li batteries for grid use

It's not super baffling when you realize the other properties of Li make it way better than pretty much anything currently on the market (the important part).

Li has amazing cycle life with a wide operating range. Li like LFP and LTO have insane cycle life. Pair that with the superior capacity and the fact that Li doesn't have problems like the memory effect and it quickly starts to become apparent why it dominates grid storage.

There's simply not been a better available rechargeable battery tech on the market. Sodium will change that.

>> With woodworking, you can just do the thing. OK, I don't do woodworking myself, but both of my parents do, and I know that they don't spend their time bikeshedding or homogenizing their work.

This is why woodworking is actually a poor analogy for software development. A better analogy is carpentry. And when it comes to carpentry, it is much more important to ensure whatever you're building is extensible or follow certain specs. The cabinets you make, for example, need to fit into a certain space under or over the counter, and need to be homogenous to a large extent.
I punched a wall while mad and put a hole in the drywall. I didn't plan where I was going to hit it. I'm not proud I did that though. Firstly, for losing my temper, which is not who I strive to be. Secondly, it's obviously weak material. I'm sure a lot of people have.
Several folks have stated that it could be just an app. I disagree. Modern versions of Android on a real phone severely limit what an app can do. It can't run forever, it can't gather any and all telemetry available to the physical device at will.

As for battery life, there's a lot you can do at the OS layer to limit what services run, but at the end of the day you're not running on a piece of hardware that has been honed by thousands of engineering hours and billions of dollars, so V1 is going to be pretty rough.

I don't think powered wheelchairs should be Class II, but we should be a bit kinder to the FDA.

The FDA is not comparing no mobility and simply an inoperable device, the FDA is comparing no mobility vs the possible outcomes of an malfunctioning device. Like perhaps what happens if the throttle gets stuck on forward.
